George Strait Announces This Tour His Last

George Strait today announced his 2013-2014 The Cowboy Rides Away tour will be his last. George was careful to point out that this does not mean retirement but he is done with the large scale touring. At a press conference at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame, Strait revealed he'll embark on his final tour Jan. 18 in Lubbock, TX, with Martina McBride in support. The first 20 markets are already set.

The 60-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer will continue to record and issue singles via MCA, and he will continue to perform at select dates.
